Volcano Fun

Volcano activities work well with Montessori's Cosmic or Great Lessons creation story, God Who has No Hands.

Montessori Clock

Montessori introduces base 12 and base 60 with a toy clock in preschool and kindergarten. Children really learn how to tell time when they use the Montessori method. The numbers are taken out like a puzzle and are replaced in proper order. If your child can put numbers in order from one through 12, they can do this exercise. 

Here is a lesson to teach your child how to tell time.

Windy Day Fun

A kite is a great way to introduce geometric shapes, art and science.
